I would also suggest you look for landmarks, like pubs, churches etc and it might then be possible to work out exactly where it was. I could then check for you (in the present day location) and compare it with old photographs from the 1850s.

No I do not know the house number. All it says on census HO107 piece 1690 folio 270 page 14 are the "schedule no's" and has one family per "schedule".

James Sands, b. 1722, said to be from Reading, Berkshire, Eng., came to Plymouth, Mass, USA, and was married to Sarah Walker. He was thought to be a descendent of Archbishop Edwin Sandys. Any help or suggestions as to his parentage would be appreciated.

There are still gravestones from the 1870s at St Peters and St Mary-le-More. There is also a cemetery situated in Castle Street which has gravestones from that time and earlier and seems to be where most people were buried during the second part of the 19thC. I have looked at the Oxfordshire Churches site and cannot find interior shots of St Mary-le-More but there is one of St Peters.

>From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, February 28, 1852; Issue 5157. READING. SUDDEN DEATH. -- On Friday the 20th instant an inquest was held by the borough coroner and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Mary HIBBERT, aged 52, who, the same morning, while in the house of her sister-in-law, suddenly fell back in the chair and instantly expired. Mr. VINES, surgeon, was of the opinion that death was caused by a disease of the heart. A verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was therefore returned by the jury.

Hello all, Those of you living close to Newbury may be interested to hear that the Newbury District Field Club (Newbury’s local history society) is starting a series of evening lectures to complement their afternoon meetings. The first talk, at 7.30pm on 27 October in the Parish Room at St John’s Church (corner of St John’s Rd and Newtown Rd) is entitled: A History of Newbury’s Breweries The speaker is yours truly. I have been researching the pubs and inns of the town for some time now, during which I have learnt a lot about the breweries that supplied them. Cost £1 members, £3 non-members (membership only £7). More information: www.ndfc.org.uk Hope to see some of you there. Phil

Kim here, in Salt Lake City, Utah - really wish I were in England to partake with the good folk of Newbury in their Newbury Brewery lecture; and it would be so interesting to imagine my ancestors partaking of the ale from these very breweries. Here in the states we have what is called a "Pub Crawl", that is, going from pub to pub trying out their specialties. Indeed, one crawls by the time they are at the end of the event.

Hello Kevin Ye, I've just looked and it has always been dedicated to St Mary The Virgin, so I'm stuck there, and it means there's no point in writing to the Oxfordshire list. As regards the abbey, the De La Pole family had so many estates that it's difficult to pinpoint where that was, but I'll keep trying. Many thanks for replying. We have no connection with the De Le Pole family - our only connection is with the name of this mysterious church! Frances Just looked at the Ewelme Church web-site and this says it's dedicated to "St Mary the Virgin" I doubt very much it would have changed it's dedication so not sure its the church your looking for. For information - Ewelme is now in Oxfordshire not Berkshire.
